Hi guys,
I bring you a small tutorial so you can perform a setup on your vps with OS Debian 8 Jessie.
**Step 1
**
Uninstall Apache2
`service apache2 stop
dpkg -l | grep apache2
apt-get purge apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils
apt-get autoremove
whereis apache2
rm -rf /usr/sbin/apache2 /usr/lib/apache2 /etc/apache2 /usr/share/apache2 /usr/share/man/man8/apache2.8.gz
`
**Step 2
**
Uninstall Postfix
`service postfix stop
dpkg -l | grep postfix
apt-get purge postfix`
**Step 3
**
Create user
`adduser username
adduser username sudo
chmod -R 700 /home/username`
**Step 4
**
dpkg-reconfigure locales
**Paso 5
**
Set the time
`date

debian, thnx
I have no idea why you'd want to kill Apache and Postfix as a first step, but whatever floats your boat. I also suggest openntpd over stock nntpd, personally. Before you do any of that, add your user, install sudo, add your user to sudo, and disable root ssh, but, again, that's just what floats my boat.
should this say Openvz template in the topic?
Sorry. Yes. I can use OpenVZ.
Hi,
In step 3 I create the user:
adduser username
adduser username sudo
chmod -R 700 /home/username
Delete Apache and Postfix because it is necessary to install a control panel. For example, to install DirectAdmin, you need a clean OS.
Regards,
Ah. I don't tend to like the control panel rolled versions any more than that which come with the base OS.. in fact I tend to prefer them less.
